Monday, Oft. 4. A letter from the marine minister gave inform ation, chat the fermentation at Bred, which was thought to have been appeased, subsisted still; that he had discharged the crew ot the Leopard, who had individually received from the General Aflemblv of Sr. a certificate that they were the Saviours of that colony, and that the municipality of Brest: had struck medals in their favor, which were distributed among the crew. The Aflembly ordered this letter to the Colo nial Committee, and directed that the President fbould writeto the municipality ofßreft, in order to put a flop to the delivery of the medals. PARIS, Sept. 19. Extract of a litter from Marfcilles, sfuguft, 30, " A large Spanilh (hip armed, en flute, loaded ivith cordage ancj all kinds of naval ltores, from Cadiz, bound to Carthagena, was taken jaft as ihe palled through the gut of Gibraltar, the be ginning of this month, by an Algerine Rover of 56 guns. After a very desperate aiTtion of thir teen glafl'es, flie was carried into Algiers. They fought with equal bravery a longtime, and were molt of the time within pistol fliot of each other, which caused an horrid (laughter on both fides, particularly among the pirates, who were repul sed twice in attempting to board, with the loss of near 100 men cut to pieces. " Notwithstanding this dreadful carnage, the < Barbarians made a third attempt with such irre fiftable fury, that, in spite of all refinance, they became conquerors. The people 011 board the Spanilh ship behaved with the greatest bravery, and fought with a surprising resolution. It is laid, that the Captain and part of the crew were Irifli, and that the former was killed by a lance in the heat of the action. The Pirates fuffered prodigiously in officers and men, having had all the formerkilled,and most of the latter wound ed ; and, their ship was so much pierced and flut tered, that she funk as she was towing into Al- giers " Three days before, the above pirate was at tacked by two armed ships of 18 guns each, under Ruffian colours, which ihe beat off, after a very severe conflict of an hour and twenty minutes. In this aiftion she had her sore-topmast carried away, and her rigging materially damaged. " She was very audacious, and fought all the time under the Algerine bloody flag."

He returned for answer, hat he had as yet received no orders from the impress to lufpend hostilities ; things were in this ituation ; the two fleets in order of battle, at a ve •y lictlediftance out of gun-fliot, and the Ruffian leet advancing, when the courier arrived from Peterfbarg. Prince Naflau acknowledged the receipt of it by.aflagof truce, and thus,thofe who, a few minutes before, were on the eve of a nioft serious and bloody conflict, became friends in an instant, and mutually congratulated each other on the event. The King landed in the Royal Barge, accompanied by the officers of the fleet, and be ing arrived at the Camp, the two armies were drawn up opposite to each other, and fired a feu dt joy. After this the Ruffian General Igelllorm came to pay his compliments to his Majefty,and had the honor of presenting General Bergman, the Coflack General Denifow, Prince Kergis of the Chinese Tartars, Volunteer in the army, and all the fuperi')t- Ruifian officers.—Prince Naflau was not observed to be among them was then fang, and the two armies returned pub lic thanks to God fqr restoring the blelfings of peace, each according to their refpetftive mode of worlhip. After which, his Majelly, in a inoft gracious and maiily speech, thanked his army for their exertions during the war, their loyalty to him, and fidelity to their country. He then pro duced and read a lift of promotions cftc. The victorious standards of Charles the twelfth (many of which still exist in the old regiments) were then furled, neverto beagain displayed till war shall call them forth. HisMajefty conducted the Ruilian officers to the Royal Pavilion, where a splendid entertainment, was prepared . the Em press of Ruflia's health was drank under a gene ral discharge of artillery ; the Ruffian officers re turning the compliment by drinking his Swedilh Majesty's health, with the laid accompaniment. During this time the dreary appearance ot tren ches and outworks, between the two camps, was agreeably changed into a moll regular garden : the soldiers having transplanted large trees for that pnrpofefroin the neighboui ing woods; these were illuminactd at night, and the names of Ca therine and Guftavus fhoneconfpicuoufly on evry branch.

As to the Cteeks, Siminoles, and other nations adjoining our western frontier, nothing is clearer to me than that, so far from being in jurious to lis, they may henceforward be made ufeful to the real intereftsof this State, provided the faith of treaties be observed.—They now (how every disposition to copy our manners, arts, agriculture, and mode of living ; and if they will not become sincere converts to, and believers of our holy religion, we can have the less reason to complain at the disappointment ; as, from our general conduct, it is very evident xvt do not believe it ourselves.—As an commtrce with the Creeks, £zc. is an objedt of some consideration, and is likely to become more and more so, now is the time for fettling our sea coast, and by that means commanding the whole western commerce—Nothing will civilize and humane the wild natives sooner, or in a more ef fedlual manner, than a commercial intercourse ; it is by this means, too, that the whole of their fine country will in process of time, fall into our hands without violence ; while in the interim wefliall be able to live in quiet, without fortify ing our dwelling houses and making ourselves and negroes prisoners therein, as was the cafe a year or two ago with the widow Savage, and others, who actually kept lip military duty in their houses, and became soldiers and heroines from neceflity.
